John
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. In spite of my English background, I do a lot of math and physics tutoring.
I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

...and teaching experience, I strongly believe that all subjects can be made fascinating. Gaining knowledge should be an exciting process, not a dreaded routine. Because of this, I try my best to find creative and fun methods of teaching for all my subjects, particularly for my specialties—reading, writing, and test preparation. Due to my love of both learning and helping others, I am currently beginning a graduate degree in social work that will allow me...

Claudine
...as a tutor, I have developed a guiding style of teaching that allows students to form their own methods of learning. By allowing students to process information in their own way, they are able to absorb information more effectively and enjoyably. In my free time, I enjoy exploring different music, reading, baking, and sewing. As a fairly new resident of San Francisco, I also like to sightsee around the city and try as many different...

Kim
...passion is tutoring Mathematics. The best part of my work is when I see the material click and a student who “hated Math” suddenly becomes enthusiastic and able to teach me the material. I know I succeeded when my students reach their goals and are no longer struggling but excelling. I believe this quote from Thomas Carruthers perfectly sums up my view on tutoring, "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." In my...
